This week in Arizona talk

The shows spent the week previewing and breaking down the BYU-Arizona matchup as a crucial early Big 12 game with major playoff implications. The talk kept coming back to whether Arizona's defense could stop BYU's rushing attack and how Bear Bachmeier would perform as a passer against Arizona's new secondary. After the game, hosts noted that BYU held on in a competitive finish despite Arizona fighting throughout, with praise for how BYU avoided mistakes down the stretch.
